Sautéing gochujang and soy sauce in oil to develop deep flavor, then generously adding freshly minced garlic at the end for a bold aromatic finish.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid using pre-minced or frozen garlic as they lack freshness and aroma—always mince fresh garlic just before use.
  • Sautéing gochujang and soy sauce in oil beforehand creates deep umami flavor even without aging the sauce.
  • Keep the heat at medium-low when sautéing the seasonings—high heat can cause them to burn instantly, resulting in bitterness.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a deeper, sharper garlic aroma compared to regular tteokbokki.
  • People wanting an instant, mouth-watering savory taste without relying on secret seasoning paste.
  • Anyone seeking a quick, satisfying late-night snack to satisfy hunger.
